However, this is not a deep copy so they probably works better with C than with C++.
Where to go from here?
The SWIG Perl5 module is constantly improving to provide better integration with Perl and to be easier to use. The introduction of shadow classes and typemaps in this release are one more step in that direction. The SWIG Examples directory contains more simple examples of building Perl5 modules. As always, suggestions for improving the Perl5 implementation are welcome.
